Be warm again - fast. The tepeo heat battery boiler can be installed quickly with no major disruption to your home. It's everything you expect from a traditional boiler, without the gas.
We know that heat pumps don't work for every home. If you don't have the outdoor space or want to avoid a disruptive retrofit, our heat battery boiler is the simpler choice.
Seamlessly make the transition away from fossil fuels. Our heat battery boiler charges like a battery when grid electricity is at its cheapest and greenest, and integrates with smart tariffs.
A heat battery boiler is an electric boiler that stores heat for later.
It works with radiators or underfloor heating, like a traditional boiler, but it does not burn gas, oil or LPG. Instead, it charges when electricity is cheaper and cleaner, then uses that stored heat when your home needs it.
Unlike a standard electric boiler, it does not rely only on electricity at the exact moment you need heat. And unlike a heat pump, it does not need an outdoor unit.
That makes it a practical option for homes moving away from fossil fuel heating, especially where a heat pump may not be the right fit.
A smarter way to heat your home with lower-carbon electricity.
The ZEB, tepeo’s heat battery boiler, uses off-peak electricity to heat its ceramic core, storing energy when it’s cheaper and more sustainable thanks to smart charging that automatically plans your charging around your tariff and the greenest times of day.
The core holds on to this heat, keeping it stored efficiently until your home needs it, just like a traditional boiler would — but without fossil fuels or major changes to your heating system.
The ZEB delivers heat into your existing radiators or underfloor system when needed. You’re always in control using the tepeo app: set preferences, track usage, boost remotely, and integrate with systems like Home Assistant for smarter, connected comfort.
Yes, if your property is a good fit. The tepeo ZEB is a smart heat battery boiler that can replace gas, oil, LPG or direct electric boilers in suitable UK homes with wet central heating.
For homeowners looking for a replacement for gas boilers, or comparing electric boilers for UK homes, the ZEB offers a practical low-carbon alternative. It connects directly to your existing radiators or underfloor heating, even working effectively with narrower microbore pipework, while storing electricity as heat using smart charging to make better use of cheaper off-peak energy.
Unlike many standard electric heating systems, the ZEB is designed around flexibility. It automatically optimises your energy usage, allowing you to heat your home intelligently and efficiently without burning fossil fuels in the home.
Installation can often take just 1–2 days, making it a lower-disruption option for homeowners exploring electric boiler installation and other low-carbon heating solutions.

Every home is different, so the best first step is our home check.
Founded in 2018 by engineer Johan du Plessis, tepeo was built on a simple belief: the UK’s transition to clean heat needs more choice.
Heat pumps are a great solution for many homes, but they are not the right fit for every property. Space, cost and installation complexity can all get in the way.
Johan set out to solve that gap with strong engineering and a practical mindset – creating a heat battery boiler that gives suitable homes familiar central heating, powered by smart electricity.
